t'rowe on the Infernal Machine.
Peoria, 111., August 2. A reporter
interviewed P. W. Crowe, the gasoline
lamp contractor here, who is connected
with the infernal machine matter.
Peoria has always been at the head of
the Fenian agitation hers, and Crowe is
one of the most desperate agitators.
He is a man of small stature, dark, in
tellectual countenance, and talked com
posedly as on ordinary topics. Crowe
produced a letter from Geo. Holgate,
dated Philadelphia, August 31st 1880,
setting forth that Mr. Holgate owned
the McClintock torpedo boat, which did
such terrible execution during the re
bellion, and that he had been conducting
experiments with it under water which
caused .McClintock to lose his life.
That he had refused a proposition from
Spain for the boat, lie claimed the
boat would blow up any vessel in the
British licet, and could blockade any
post regardless of all the men-of-war
in the world. It would cost about $20,
000 to build it, and he, would place it at
the Crowns disposal, lie claimed tho
boat would do inore good for Ireland,
and fetch the British to terms
quicker than half amillion men. Crowe
said, shortly after the Executive Com
mittee of United Irishmen met in New
York, Judge Brenncn, of Iowa, Capt.
G. Spirman, of New York, James ite
re ii, of Providence, Thomas II. Dwyer,
of Chicago, O' Donovan Kossaand liim
self were present, that they discussed
Holgate' s proposition 'and the
scheme of devastating England's
shore, but on Crowes repre
sentation they decided it would be too
expensive and that they could do bet
ter work by depositing torpedoes in
British ships which could bo done for
twenty-five dollars a piece which would
bring England to 'terms by making it
dangerous for people to go aboard Brit
ish vessels. They desired to take this
course some time later and the United
Irishmen and Fenians joined hands in
order to execute these plans. Thev
were six thousand strong in the United
States and Canada. There were branch
es in Quebec, Montreal, Toronto and
nearly every important city in the
United States. These infernal ma
chines are being made in every city
where there is a branch of the order
and will continue to be made. They
are working for the good of the old sod
and t hey were no more liable than were
the makers of revolvers and cannons.
Dynamite was no more vicious than
powder and with these weapons they
could drive from them their enemy, de
stroy her trade and make prolitable bus
iness impossible. Some people would
have to die. There would bo live or
six then boycotting, but man was al
ways cruel' and that war was easiest
which went the straightcst to the mark
and killed the most in the shortest time
and compelled nations to make peace.
CROWE ARKKSTE.
Washington, August 2. Crowe of
Peoria has been arrest (id. Tho warrant
was sworn out by tho British Vice-Consul
at New York which was sent to the
United Stales aut horities of Illinois. Attorney-General
MacVcagh says tho
matter of infernal machines has not
been brought oflicially to his notice but
if it is he Villlind a law for the sup
pression of such practices and would
not deal leniently with offenders, mak
ers and users. He thinks Harlniann,
the Nihilist, might be turned over to
Russia if they demand it. He does not
approve- of allowing plots against tho
peace of other governments to lie
latched in the United States.
Texas & Pacific Itoud.
New York. Aug. 2. Gov. Brown, of
Texas, Vice-President of the Texas &
Pacific railroad, informed a World re
porter that the graders and track lay
ers on t he western extension find no dif
ficulty in procuring ample supplies and
good water over the j(J0 miles now con
structed westward from Fort Worth.
The supply of water is ample, except in
one or two places. The prospects for
local business on this extension are far
better than they were on the Union and
Central Pacific lines when first con
structed. Tho western extension is
penetrating a country unsurpassed in
that section for luxuriant and nutritive
grasses. Settlements are rapidly fol
lowing the construction of the line anil
it is not unreasonable to express the be
lief that the country immediately tribu
tary to the line will be peopled much
more rapidly than any part of the
United States has been in the past. The
charge that the line penetrates an un
inhabitable region is made either in ut
ter ignorance of facts or in utter disre
gard of truth.

KAUBER RETIRES.
Paris, August 2. Rauber retired from
politics to-day. In announcing it he
says: "I do not ask you to appoint me
to represent you again. My reasons
are ttieso: Since the death of the Prince
Imperial I conceived an idea shortly
terminating my political career after1
long years employed in labor of poli
tics. I have the right of not proceed
ing further. My retirement is an act of
dignity and homage towards those who
are no more. I sincerely thank my
friends for their sympathy and confi
dence." LAND FOR THE IRISHMEN.
Dublin, August 2. Parnell at a meet
ing of the Land League to-day an

SPEECHES IN THE COMMONS.
London August 1. In the House of
Lords Duke Argyle, liberal, in a two
hours speech, attacked the London Bill,
to which, however, he said, the govern
ment appears to be driven, as Lords
are, by circumstances. He compared
tho government to a jelly fish, and ad
vised the government to tell the Irish
that they will henceforth support the
desisions of the court, and that pover
ty is no excuse for wrong.
Duke Marlborough, Conservative,
also spoke in condemnation of the bill.

Organization of the xt IIoue.
Washington. August 1.' A special
telegram to the Inter-Ocean says: There
has heen considerable canvassing going
on here as to the organization of the
next House, and its probable loss to the
Republicans, owing to the failure of the
New York Legislature to pass a law for
a special election to fill the seats vacat
ed by Morton, Miller and Lapham and
by the death of Wood. The New York
State Canvassing Board cannot meet
under the law until December, after the
time for the organization of the House.
Investigation, however, shows that
members elected to fill these vacancies
can be admitted to their scats without
the election returns being canvassed by
the state board, on the returns of local
inspectors of New York, who can, and
will, give ' a certificate of admission.
Waldo Hutchins, who was elected to
fill a vacancy in New York, caused by
the death of the member-elect on the
night of the election, was admitted on
this sort of a certificate precisely to the
last House, as in the case of the succes
sors to Miller, Lapham, Morton and
Wood. The State Canvassing Board
would not legally meet in time to certi
fy his election by the meeting of Con
gress, and he was admitted on a certifi
cate based on the return of the local
inspectors. A Democratic House es
tablished this precedent.
John Sheppard, an infidel of Orion,
Neb., built a platform alongside a

convert him, but all in vain. One day
an impulsive clergyman prayed that if
Sheppard could be silenced in no other
way he might be removed by death.
That evening the infidel dieil very sud
denly, and it would be difiicult to con
vince the people thereabout that he
was not killed in direct answer to
prayer.
